After "pardoning" Onyx, Moro wants to criminalize undeclared campaign contributions.
In the anti-crime bill that amends the Penal Code, the Minister of Justice, Sérgio Moro, criminalizes so-called "slush funds"; curiously, the Chief of Staff, Onyz Lorenzoni, admitted to receiving money from JBS that was not declared to the Electoral Court; Moro had exempted the head of the ministry from punishment; "He has already admitted it and apologized," he said.
247 - In the project that he presents this Monday (4) to governors and state secretaries of Public Security throughout the country, the Minister of Justice, Sérgio Moro, criminalizes the so-called slush fund. According to the proposal, it will be a crime to collect, maintain, move or use values that have not been declared to the Electoral Court.
The curious thing is that the current Chief of Staff, Onyx Lorenzoni, admitted in May 2017 to having received undeclared campaign contributions from JBS. Last November, Moro exempted the head of the ministry from punishment. "He has already admitted it and apologized."
The statement echoed what the minister himself said during a lecture at Harvard University (USA). "We have to tell the truth, undeclared campaign contributions are cheating, it's a crime against democracy. Corruption in campaign financing is worse than diverting resources for illicit enrichment."
The Chief of Staff, mentioned in the testimony of brothers Joesley and Wesley Batista as the beneficiary of R$ 100 transferred by the JBS group, stated: “At the end of the campaign, the final stretch, we were full of debts with suppliers and people, and I used the money. And Brazilian law does not allow the repatriation of these funds,” he told Congresso em Foco in May of the year before last. “I took care to ask if the money was legal, of clean origin,” he added.
